Can't tell what is worse: that, or this.

Holy Carp!! How did he not slice a leg off on that thing??

Helmet? Nope. Gloves? Not needed. Shielding? Weighs too much, skip it.

I want one.

Hey, he did tuck his tie into his shirt.

Colin is a terrible accident just waiting to happen. I mean, this is a guy who has a thermite launcher and fires it at fireworks, and has put a pulse jet on a bicycle. But he will die in a glorious manner after fully living.

The most terrifying part of that clip is the fact that he's wearing a tie

You really owe it to yourself to watch the cake machine video, if only for the hysterical laughter.

Thank the Lord I've never had the urge to fly. That looks like a particularly painful way to die.

You built a jet-boat, a jet engine from a turbocharger, and drove a ~50 year-old bus with questionable...well, everything...~2000-miles in the middle of winter, are you sure about that???

It's part of the mad scientist uniform. It's either the tie or the lab coat.

I'm too fond of my fat carcass to take those kind of chances.

If a bus dies half way home, you call a tow truck. If a boat leaves you stranded, that's what a float plan is for.

If that flying contraption fails at 2000', you stick your head between your legs, and kiss your ass goodbye. And pray one of those blades takes off your head so you don't have to suffer very long.

Something like this would be cool. Crashing it would be no worse than crashing most of the other stuff I own. I'm pretty sure I could build one fairly easily.
